Very well written and illustrated for the beginner like me. If I can understand it and and work on my bike with confidence I believe anyone with a rudementary understanding of mechanical things can also using this manual.
This manual explains it all in great detail, and provides information about your entire bike from front to back, top to bottom. They mention the special tools and test equipment needed for some repairs/adjustments .. so you know when it's best to dig in yourself and when not to.
I haven't used for any repair yet but skimming through I can see that the instructions look clear and lots of clear photos to accompany instructions. I am mechanically inclined and have intermediate mechanical skills so this is perfect for me.Very happy so far and would probably give it 5 stars but wouldn't be fair to do that without using it for several applications.
Very good manual with lots of images to show the step by step how-to's along with good writen procedures. Also the color coded wiring diagrams are perfect for trouble shooting and the addition of after market lights and other electrical devices.
The technical information is accurate and complete. At the time my bike broke, I was on my way to the hospital to visit my 79 years old father who had fallen and broken a hip. The mechanic told me it would take him at least a week to start working on the bike because he really was backed up with other motorcycles. That same day I ordered the manual, and asked for next day delivery. Then started working on the bike, which is currently my only means of transportation. After troubleshooting the electrical system, I knew the stator was gone and the same day, I bought a new stator for $340.00. The next day I took the stator cover out and waited. About two hours later, the manual arrived. The manual led me step by step to replace the new stator, so that night, my bike was fixed. The labor cost alone was more than the cost of the book and delivery put together. But more important, I did not have to wait a week to visit and help my father, who is currently recovering from his hip surgery. I am very satisfied with this purchase!
these service manual are a must have item for every professional or home garage mechanic and for the do-it-yourselfers who appreciate their vehicles and want to make certain that proper service is done.I always buy a Clymers manual for every vehicle,motorcycle,ATC or ATV I either own or have owned. Plus these service manuals are always a bonus to the next buyer when I have and will sell my vehicles. The price is right, free SuperSaver shipping with over $25 eligible products.It's a Win Win and 5 stars all the way.
Writing reviews for products that I like and find helpful is something that I enjoy doing. This repair manual is exactly what do-it-yourself types need. The savings you will realize over taking your bike to the dealer can be significant. The torque specifications for the bolts on your bike can save you some money, and keep you from twisting off bolt heads and stripping threads. The directions and instructions are clear and easy to understand. I highly recommend this manual.
This is my 2nd VTX and second Clymer manual for the bike. Clymer manuals/books are usually pretty good quality. Here's a tip: buy a 2-inch 3-ring binder and then punch holes in the manual pages. Put the thing (minus the spine) in the binder so that the pages will now stay open while you work in the shop. That way you don't have to put a wrench or other object on the book to hold it open. Clymer, if you're reading, consider offering a binder version of the books.
